Details on the LP are still vague, but West is devoting so much time to it that he postponed a May tour of Australia. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, concert promoter Live Nation released the following statement: “Due to unexpected timing requirements to finish his highly anticipated new studio album, scheduled for a 2014 release, Kanye West regretfully announces the postponement of his upcoming tour dates in Australia.”

In case you were skeptical considering today’s date, they followed it up with a tweet, saying, “Just to clarify, this is definitely not an April Fools joke.”

Rumor has it that Q-Tip and Rick Rubin are contributing production to the new LP. Back in December, West spoke on it during a stop at Miami’s Art Basel: “I think my next album is going to be eight songs. It’s just reducing down the amount of information that you need. People say a design is the point where you can’t take anything else away. [Yeezus] was very, very designed. I took a departure from radio and popular music in order to get this seat here.”

With all things related to Kanye, expect quite a few surprises. Meantime, his rescheduled Australia dates with Pusha T are below.
